When a walkway, ramp or loading platform starts getting slippery, lifting and replacing the whole surface is rarely the proportionate answer. This anti-slip GRP sheet is a 5 mm gritted panel you fix straight over what is already there — concrete, timber, steel or tile — to give a high-traction walking surface that copes with weather, wheeled traffic and routine cleaning. The manufacturer tests it to DIN 51130 R13, the highest classification in that standard, and to BS 7976-2, where it is rated low slip potential. It comes in three sheet sizes and three colours, so you can cover a landing with a single panel or work along a gangway in sections.
Traction comes from a coarse aggregate bonded into a glass-reinforced polyester panel as it cures, so the anti-slip surface is part of the sheet rather than a coating sitting on it. That matters where castors, grit and pressure washing would lift a tape or a painted finish inside a season.
R13 is the top of the DIN 51130 ramp-test scale, and the manufacturer additionally cites BS 7976-2 pendulum testing at low slip potential. That is the band normally specified where water, oil, mud or ice is expected as a matter of course rather than occasionally.
The manufacturer gives an operating range of −50 °C to +90 °C and states the material is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. Because GRP is non-ferrous, external and coastal installations do not suffer the edge corrosion that eventually lifts checker plate and galvanised sheet.
Typical installations are external walkways and gantries, access and yard ramps, loading bay edges, plant rooms and pump houses, wash-down areas, marina pontoons, and worn landings on external fire escapes. It works equally well indoors as a standing area at a machine station, where a sealed floor turns unpredictable under coolant or water.

Size first. The 0.8 m × 1.2 m sheet can be handled and cut single-handed and suits landings, thresholds and short platform runs. The 1.2 m × 1.2 m squares up on a standard gangway width. The 1.2 m × 2.4 m gives the fewest joints on a long walkway but is a two-person lift at around 23 kg, so check access first.
Then colour. Black is the discreet choice where the panel should recede into an industrial floor. Grey reads as a neutral, finished surface in semi-public areas. Yellow is the high-visibility option for hazard demarcation and ramp edges — the manufacturer states its colour range includes options that comply with the Equality Act. Note that Black is offered in the two smaller sheets only; for a 1.2 m × 2.4 m sheet, choose Grey or Yellow.
The manufacturer's stated fixing method is to bond or screw the sheet to the surface. Most installers do both on trafficked areas: a bead of construction adhesive to stop drumming, plus countersunk fixings at the perimeter and across the field. Work to a sound, dry, clean substrate and butt the sheets rather than overlapping them. Seal any exposed cut edge. Clean with a stiff brush or rotary machine and general-purpose detergent.
Pedestrian and light wheeled traffic such as pallet trucks and sack barrows is the intended duty. For forklifts, heavy plant or anything that turns on the spot under load, ask us first — that is usually a case for GRP grating rather than a 5 mm bonded sheet.
They are two different tests the manufacturer quotes for the same panel. DIN 51130 is a ramp test walked in oiled boots and reports an R value, R13 being the highest. BS 7976-2 is the pendulum test used in UK specification; the manufacturer states low slip potential, the band specifiers generally ask for.
Yes. Use a diamond or carbide-tipped blade in a circular saw or jigsaw, and template awkward corners in cardboard first. Wear eye protection and a dust mask — cutting GRP produces a fine glass dust — and seal cut edges.
No screed — the point of a 5 mm bonded sheet is that it goes onto the existing substrate. That surface does need to be sound, dry and free of loose material, laitance and old coatings. A badly spalled or actively damp slab should be made good first.
Choose your colour and sheet size above; each combination is priced individually. Larger sheets ship on a pallet and need somewhere to unload, so tell us if site access is restricted. If you need a quantity for a whole walkway or a size not shown, contact us and we will confirm availability and lead time.

Arrived swiftly and put straight to use. These panels fit snugly on our steel loading dock, enduring both the damp conditions and the constant comings and goings of heavy trucks. Love how this sheet not only stays secure but really holds up under all that activity, making a world of difference in safety out there during wet days.
Anti-Slip GRP Sheet 5mm R13 Gritted Floor Panel - 3 Sizes, 3 Colours
Wasnt sure at first about going for this, but it was well-packaged and came bang on time, which kicked off the whole project smoothly. Threw down one of the sheets over the tiled floor at our local shopping centre walkway, and I must say its impressively sturdy. After a few weeks in place, even with all the foot traffic, it feels incredibly solid underfoot and shows no signs of wear – good stuff!

Got this for the port-side concrete steps in our small warehouse. Initially sceptical, I found that laying the sheet adds a smart and polished look to what was once quite a drab area. After several weeks of forklift traffic, it hasnt budged and still looks neat.
Anti-Slip GRP Sheet 5mm R13 Gritted Floor Panel - 3 Sizes, 3 Colours
Installed it on the barn access ramp months ago, and its been brilliant – no more slipping even after a rainy day. Just needed a bit of cutting to fit perfectly over the wooden planks, and after all this time with hay carts going in and out, it’s still holding up like new.
Anti-Slip GRP Sheet 5mm R13 Gritted Floor Panel - 3 Sizes, 3 Colours
Absolutely slick! We had it installed in the bustling kitchen at work, and trimming it to fit around all the nooks was a breeze. It lay snug over the old tiles, and even with chefs darting about during lunch rush, theres been no slipping. Finally got safe floors without mega stress or expense—and I couldn’t be happier with how well this sheet blends into our workday chaos.
